Similar to Things Left Behind, this can eat up more time than it's worth. It's not uncommon to fly around for half an hour without finding any chests, even with the help of HandyNotes or some such. Take this quest at the beginning of your daily chores and hope you're lucky enough to stumble on 3 chests in the process.
It looks like the Black Empire Caches have fixed locations. Here are some I've found that can be plugged into TomTom:
/way 70.30, 23.03 (inside pools of power)
/way 73.03, 24.96 (inside pools of power)
/way 67.14, 27.55 (inside pools of power)
/way 70.16, 32.50 (inside pools of power)
/way 55.95, 26.47 (inside pools of power)
/way 59.54, 56.17
/way 62.84, 56.81
/way 67.58, 55.52
/way 65.85, 59.61
/way 60.69, 63.27 (inside big blossom mine)
/way 62.84, 69.51 (inside big blossom mine)
/way 71.59, 68.44 (inside big blossom mine)There are probably more. Alternatively you can also use the addon HandyNotes. Just make sure to get the base addon (HandyNotes) and its counterpart HandyNotes: Visions of N'Zoth to see all caches and bosses displayed on your map. Hope this helps some!

What to do
Description
I understand that the Black Empire poses a grave threat to Pandaria, but we may also use this as an opportunity! Though we've faced them several times before, very little is known about the Old Gods or N'Zoth's mysterious realm of Ny'alotha. When studying ancient civilizations, we often rely on artifacts to unlock the deepest mysteries lost to time. I wonder if some such artifacts could be found among the Old God's forces? It can't hurt to check, right?
